What is the current plot transformation?

[Harry]

Is there a way to get the current plot transformation in Drafting?

Best regards,

You can get some current Plot settings using the command INQ_ENV 4. I'm not sure if it will provide everything you want, but it is a start. See Help, Program Ref. Guide or the attached GIF for more details.

Can you tell us, which version and which UI of Drafting you are using ?

thanks for your reaction. I knew that I can use some inq code to get info of the plot transformation but not what I wanted...

Plot_black_and_white


Here you see the standard Plot_black_and_white settings. I like to be able to set the width with a factor. So I can scale down (or up) the thickness of the lines. A0 format printed on A4 must be in thin lines. I do not like the idea to copy these list.

Best regards,

I haven't tried it, but you should be able to replace the standard Plot_black_and_white macro with your own macro of the same name, and replace the penwidth numbers with variables which you set in some other macro code.

....SAME penwidth My_width_1 {pen number} 1

Then set My_width_1 to a mm size number based on the selected paper size.
